Report: Arsenal are ready to sell £20m player who Mikel Arteta has just suggested could start vs Real Madrid

Arsenal are preparing for a big summer clear-out and one of the names on the list is a player who Mikel Arteta has just suggested will start against Real Madrid.

Andrea Berta has already commenced work in North London following his official appointment earlier this week and he is preparing to offload several players.

The Gunners could sell as many as 11 players in the summer as Mikel Arteta looks to re-shape his squad following another unsuccessful pursuit of the Premier League title.

There are some interesting names on the list of players the North London club are ready to sell with one set to start in arguably the team’s biggest game of the season.

Arsenal are ready to sell Jakub Kiwior this summer

Arsenal are ready to sell Jakub Kiwior this summer with the defender keen to find regular game time elsewhere, according to The Mirror.

Mikel Arteta suggested Kiwior could start against Real Madrid next week following the hamstring injury suffered by Gabriel Magalhaes.

The Polish defender was forced to come on against Fulham on Tuesday after just 16 minutes with the Brazilian being forced off in discomfort.

Ian Wright has admitted he is worried about Kiwior having to play against Madrid, who will see the defender as a weak link in Arteta’s team.

Kiwior, who cost Arsenal £20m, has attracted intrest from both Italy and France where he could get more playing time than he currenlty is in North London.

Meanwhile, Bayer Leverkusen enquired about signing Kiwior just a few days ago, a move is expected to cost between £12.5 and £16.7 million.

Arsenal could offload ten other players this summer

There are ten other players Arsenal could move on this summer plus Neto and Raheem Sterling returning to their parent clubs.

The Gunners are looking to sign a striker, new central midfielder, winger and backup goalkeeper and these moves could be in part funded by player sales.
